Dark Prince Costume for Cosplay & Halloween Parties

Dark Prince is the sequel to The Lion of Macedon, which is possibly the most heroically epic book ever written.You really need to read that book before reading this one.Story:Dark Prince asks the question, "What if famed conqueror Alexander the Great was possessed by a Demonic War God?" The adventure takes place among the warring states of Ancient Greece and in an alternate dimension with mythological characters like Centaurs, Dryads, a Minotaur, a Gorgon, etc... The story is action packed and features all of the intense action, commentary on human nature, and fantasy that Gemmell fans have come to appreciate.Characters:David Gemmell writes the best heroic fantasy characters. Although the characters are heroic warriors battling overwhelming odds, their flaws make them more dimensional and they seem like real people. Many fantasy characters are vehicles that travel from point A to B and simply drive the plot while saying heroic things that an archetypal hero would be expected to say. But David Gemmell's characters are often struggling with their own personal demons or post traumatic stress... or in the case of this book, an actual demon.Writing Style:The world is fantastic, dark, and gritty. The environments leap of the page. The action is visceral and epic. The characters hold your interest as you cheer them on through their struggles.Action:There are epic battles in Ancient Greece, epic fantasy battles with mythical creatures, magic duels, fist fights, assassination attempts, skirmishes... you name it, it's in here.All of the battles are intensely written. You feel the impact of swords on shields and spears puncturing bodies. The battles also have physical and mental consequences for the heroes as some of them start to lose their humanity.Maturity:This is for young adults or adults. There's sex, violence, gore, and mature themes.Overall:This is a very good book. I had one problem with the overall story and I felt that it skipped around quite a bit and doesn't really build on itself.At times, the story advances 10 years, and even skips to alternate universes. I don't know if any other writer could have pulled this off.But in the end, David Gemmell's writing style makes this a very memorable adventure.If you enjoyed this book, check out Legend, Waylander, Winter Warriors, or the Rigante Saga also from David Gemmell.If you are a fan of Robert E. Howard, you'll enjoy David Gemmell's work.Avoid this book if you like simple storylines or hate battles.
